Well... after several fits and starts, upgrading other software, fixing old broken stuff, etc., we're now up to a version that should help protect us from any incursions (this time it was the Russians instead of the Iranians!). Thanks for your patience and sorry for interrupting your FW goodness. No further downtime expected.

Smilies

Explanation

'Smilies' are small graphical images that can be used to convey an emotion or feeling.
If you have used email or internet chat, you are likely familiar with the smilie concept.
Certain standard strings are automatically converted into smilies.
Try twisting your head on one side if you do not 'get' smilies;
using a bit of imagination should reveal a face of some description.

If you want to disable smilies in a post that you make, you can select the 'Disable Smilies' option
when posting. This is particularly useful if you are posting program code and you do not
want ;) converted to a smilie face!
